Abstract

A screen panel center retainer system for a vibrating separatory machine utilizes a center retainer that is provided with a retainer base which is adapted to be secured to screen stringer rails of a vibrating separatory machine. A pair of retainer channel legs form an upper portion of the center retainer and have screen panel edge receiving slots. A locking strip, having a wedging tongue, is used in conjunction with the center retainer. The wedging tongue is insertable into the channel on the center retainer which is defined by the two retainer channel legs. Flow control dams and cross dam retainers are used in conjunction with, and in addition to the center retainers and locking strips. The cross dam retainers are provided with locking strip end receiving pockets, to compensate for changes in the length of the locking strips. The screen panel center retainer system is configured to provide a functional, universal installation of screen panels on vibrating separating machines.
